不老實的飯店

一到飯店竟告知我們的房故障沒水，馬上帶我們到隔街另一間，房間很小又沒窗，我當下很生氣，拿出憑證告訴他，我訂的是24平方公尺豪華陽台部份海景房，而且這不是我原先訂的飯店，我很堅持要回我原訂房，他只好回原飯店然後給我原訂的房，根本沒任何問題，所以我覺得此飯店很不老實，早晚餐選項和量都很少，倒是餐飲男服務員很親切，到店付的6美元，給10美竟沒主動找錢，等退房時才跟櫃檯要，唉！不老實的飯店

Maldív barátokkal

Az egy dolog, hogy a csapatunkból az egyik szobánk nem volt kész, átvittek egy másik hotelbe, de azt is éppen építették a semmiből. (de legalább szobám volt) A White Shell hotel szobája sem volt jobb. Kissé koszos, puritán és rendkívül egyszerű. Ha el tudsz vonatkoztatni a szobától, és a természeti kincsekre összpontosítasz, akkor jól fogod magad érezni, de a szoba, illetve e hotel választása nem jó. :( Bár közel van a bikini Beach-hez, ez tehát jó, de nagyjából ez minden jó tulajdonsága. A reggelit biztosítják, de elég gagyi, és mindig ugyanaz. :(

Great value for money - and CLEAN

I had 5 nights at White Shell and 1 night at Seven Corals, which was 20$ more expensive than White Shell. White Shell is value for money. Rooms and hotel-building is in very good quality and rooms are cleaned and smell fresh (unlike alot other hotel rooms in Maafushi apperently). The service from staff is very good and very helpful. Can only recommend this place if staying at Maafushi.

E' la mia seconda esperienza in questa guest house. Non me ne sono pentita. Hassan, il boss è veramente simpatico e attento, ti tratta come un amico, si rende disponibile a risolvere piccoli problemi organizzativi. Le escursioni le ho sempre fatte con Shadow Palm (consigliatissimo, sono i migliori), ma in quest'hotel ho sempre speso poco e mi sono sentita a casa. Sono molto puliti, gentili e davvero generosi. Consigliatissimo.

Superó nuestras expectativas

La situación es buena, a menos de 5 minutos de la bikini beach y del puerto. La limpieza del establecimiento perfecta al igual que la habitación. La atención del personal exquisita, intentan hacerte la estancia agradable. El desayuno bueno y abundante. Hay toallas para la playa sin cargo. Enchufes adaptados para conexión europea. Botella de agua cortesía del hotel a diario. Nosotros tuvimos un problema con el ferry y nos dejaron una habitación para tener nuestras cosas y ducharnos sin ningún coste. Puedes pedir en el mismo hotel comida y cena. También te hacen desayuno para llevar si no estás en horario de 8 a 10. Lo único que se debería mejorar es la cama supletoria, el colchón era de muelles y se notaban. Quitando esto último recomiendo esta estancia, calidad precio es muy buena. Muchas gracias a todo el personal por hacer de nuestra estancia unos días inolvidables.

不錯的住宿旅館：乾淨寬敞有陽台、裝潢新冷氣強，床和枕頭很好睡，有冰箱咖啡壺，免費早餐小瓶瓶裝水。

6月雖然是馬爾地夫的雨季(遊客較少的淡季)，這個季節來這裏旅遊CP值頗高，價格應該較旅遊旺季便宜，天氣其實很好。我20180615-0618在這裡旅遊都是豔陽高照好天氣，只有第2天晚間下了一下陣雨。 WhiteShell Island Hotel旅館乾淨，我住2樓403號房，有陽台可看見海灘，房間寬敞，裝潢看起來新，冷氣強還有吸頂風扇，床和枕頭很好睡，有冰箱咖啡壺咖啡杯(免費茶包咖啡包)，每天提供早餐、免費小瓶瓶裝水。旅館員工說自來水可以飲用，所以我都是以咖啡壺燒水後放涼，裝入我的保溫壺及空寶特瓶，加上旅館每天提供、及一日遊提供的瓶裝水，而未另外買瓶裝水。 在居民島Maafushi詢問遊程及費用時，除了諮詢自己住宿的旅館，也可詢問住客較多、口碑不錯的Arena Beach Hotel、Kaani Beach Hotel、iCom Tour旅遊店，可比較價格，掌握揪團出遊成行的機會。

途中トラブルがあり、エクスカーションのキャンセルなど、いろいろ迷惑をかけてしてしまいましたが、いやな顔をせずテキパキと対応してくれました。エクスカーションはどこかのショップと提携しているようで、いろいろなゲストハウスの方と一緒に参加しました。スタッフがエクスカーション中の写真をいつの間にか撮ってくれていたようで、デジカメのデータをUSBに入れてもらいました。部屋も毎日きれいに掃除してあり、スタッフも親切、船着場からも近い。朝食がちょっと質素でしたが、それ以外はとてもすごしやすかったです。ホワイトシェルの皆さんありがとうございました！！

Sentirsi a casa a Maafushi

Abbiamo soggiornato 8 notti al Whiteshell, ottima esperienza! Stanza ampia, sempre pulita e confortevole: vista mare, aria condizionata, frigo, cassaforte, televisione, bagno nuovo, ampia doccia, ogni giorno due bottigliette di acqua e asciugamani nuovi. Personale estremamente gentile e disponibile, sia per quanto riguarda la ristorazione sia per l'organizzazione delle varie escursioni e dei trasporti. Hanno persino organizzato una sorpresa per il giorno del compleanno! Avevamo scelto la mezza pensione: a colazione omelette, wurstel, pane tostato, marmellata, latte e cereali e frutta fresca; la cena era o a buffet oppure con ampia scelta alla carta. Tutto buonissimo, e nessun problema mangiando verdura cruda o frutta fresca. Posizione ottima, a poche decine di metri dalla bikini beach. Hotel assolutamente consigliato.
